Moong dal payasam is a South Indian delicacy that is prepared during festivals as an offering to God. Pasi paruppu payasam, as it is known in Tamil Nadu, is made with cooked moong dal, jaggery and milk as the main ingredients.
Jaggery sweets are believed to be healthier than white sugar sweets and hence is the best option for a healthy yet toothsome sweet during festivals and celebrations. In Kerala, moong dal payasam is either made with coconut milk or grated coconut as an ingredient.
